Chapter 224 (1/2)
Back in the room, Li Chengye remembered his previous experience and still had lingering palpitations.
Since he joined the army, he has not rarely encountered things that are close to death but still alive, but he has made preparations in advance for those experiences, and he will not feel how terrible afterwards.
But just now, facing the assassin who couldn't even see clearly, he felt like he was thrown into the middle of a hurricane and would be swallowed up by the storms around him at any time. He couldn't control his own destiny at all, resulting in great terror.
Seeing that the imperial envoy's flying sword saved his life, Li Chengye bowed from his heart and said, ”thank you for saving me just now, otherwise I don't know how to die.”
Bu Langshan has been chasing for a while, but he can't find the assassin. Now he has been searching the whole city for a long time. However, if such an expert dares to assassinate the world-famous Shence army, he must have been well prepared. It should be impossible to find him in such a search.
Bu Lanshan replied, ”this is the responsibility of Lanshan since he went down the mountain. Li's joining the army is the key to calming the unrest. For peace in the world, Lanshan should do his best to deal with it. Please don't be polite, general.”
Wei Ran came in from the outside. Just now he also tried to find the trace of the assassin. The other party's body method is fast and strange. He is good at integrating into the shadow of the environment. He can't find any trace at all. It's really difficult to prevent such skills.
On his way back, he heard another news. Tonight, in addition to his father, Zhang Zhen was also assassinated. And there are five assassins who assassinated Zhang Zhen!
Two of them deliberately failed to assassinate, which attracted the attention of experts around Zhang Zhen. After everyone thought the storm, three killers suddenly appeared, attacking at the same time from three angles: the crowd, the shadow of the building and mid air.
The experts around Zhang Zhen almost didn't have time to respond, but when these assassins thought they were successful, they didn't expect Zhang Zhen to burst out suddenly, and their strength was far beyond everyone's expectation.
In only one round, the three killers were quickly captured alive on the spot. They didn't even have time to swallow poison and commit suicide. Their jaws were removed and their limbs were broken at the same time. At this time, Zhang Zhen, who was in a rage, was tortured in the prison all night. Wei Ran could hear the fierce howl from the underground warehouse temporarily used as a prison in the distance.
After the assassination, all the generals with excellent martial arts in the army maintained the highest vigilance. There are many experts in the Shence army, as well as some generals. Many of them come from the Jianghu, and even some of them are born experts. From that night, they agreed on how to arrange traps and patrol joint protection system, so as not to be disturbed by the Wulin experts in the thief army.
Wei Ran returned to the room and told the news to everyone. Everyone looked at each other. Bu Langshan thought for a moment and said, ”on the surface, the focus of their assassination is to recruit envoys, but in fact, they still take general Li as the main target.”
Li Guangsi said strangely, ”but obviously the assassination and recruitment makes more assassins, and the plan seems more careful.”
Bu Lanshan said with a habitual smile: ”first, the plan seems meticulous, but it actually has a certain gambling nature.
Who knows if he will immediately let a group of soldiers surround him and do the most thorough protection after the first round of assassination? If so, wouldn't the Assassins' second step fail?
Second, I know the assassin who assassinated General Li just now. ”
Several people in the room stared closely at Bu Lanshan. Bu Lanshan kept smiling, but looked at Wei Ran and asked, ”since brother Li has seen the captured assassin, what do you think of the strength of the five of them compared with the assassin just now?”
Wei Ran didn't give a positive answer and said with a smile, ”girl, don't call me big brother. I've just turned seventeen this year. Maybe I'm younger than you.”
